Since late summer 2012, Scrummy Afters Candy Shoppe has been a go-to for Central Maine kids, adults with a sweet tooth, and the curious.
Now, due in part to the uncertain times brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, big changes will be coming to the candy shop.
According to a post on their Facebook page , proprietors Kim and Hilary have announced that they'll be closing their 136 Water Street, Hallowell storefront. The good news is that they are not closing the business. They'll be directing the time they have been spending on their storefront to focus on their online business and mobile candy shop.

Virus closed storefronts, so Doylestown shops go virtual | KYW
Small Business Saturday is traditionally the Saturday after Thanksgiving. But Derrick Morgan, co-owner of the Monkey's Uncle , which sells retro sports apparel, is banding with more than 50 other merchants to hold a virtual small business event this Saturday.
"Unfortunately, a lot of these businesses are trying to find a way to survive the stay-at-home orders until they are able to open the doors again. By being able to support these small businesses now when we need it most, we can help ensure that they will be around come November when Small Business Saturday would typically happen," he said.

With Downtown Foot Traffic Down 80%, Loop Storefronts Struggle To Stay Open – CBS Chicago
CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago’s once bustling Loop is akin to a ghost town amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Foot traffic downtown has dropped about 80% compared to this time last year.
CBS 2 Morning Insider Tim McNicholas reports shops are still paying thousands of dollars per month in rent, but they’re not making many sales.

One NJ small business owner's story of survival
NEWARK — As New Jersey nears 100,000 people infected with COVID-19 and the state gears up to do more widespread testing, the financial burden of this virus is crushing businesses, cities and the state itself.
On the corner of Halsey and Linden Streets in downtown Newark, the bustling business district is empty. Many of the storefronts belong to new and burgeoning small business owners, like Lynette LaShawn.
"Business was booming. They were buying pillows, they were buying dresses," said LaShawn, who spoke to us from inside her store, Off the Hanger, which sells clothing and home furnishings.
